Question

subtract -7/8 from-5/6 i want step by step explanation ​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{ - 1}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to take the LCM of denominators

2 | 8, 6

2 | 4, 3

2 | 2, 3

3 | 1, 3

1, 1

LCM of 8, 6 is = 2×2×2×3 = 24

Now, the denominators should be 24

$\frac{ - 7 \times3 }{8 \times 3} = \frac{ - 21}{24}$

$\frac{ - 5 \times 4}{6 \times 4} = \frac{ - 20}{24}$

Now, they are like fractions.

$\frac{ (- 21) - ( - 20)}{24}$

$= \frac{ - 1}{24}$

Answer 2

-41/24 is the final answer.
